After a stroke, the leg can develop what’s called flexor synergy. This means the hip, knee, ankle, and toes move in a “linked” way — for example, lifting the hip automatically causes the knee to bend and the ankle to flex. While this can make walking and balance difficult, physical therapy helps break these patterns. Through repetition, stretching, and strengthening, patients can relearn more natural movement, improving confidence and independence. #strokerecovery #physicaltherapy #recovery | Pr

Flexor synergy in the leg can happen after a stroke — the hip, knee, and ankle all bend together instead of moving freely. PT helps retrain the brain and muscles to break these patterns, making walking smoother and balance stronger. #painrelief ##recovery #physicaltherapist | Precision Care Medical & Sports Performance
